To expand its line of filler metals for chrome-molybdenum weldments in the refinery, petrochemical, power generation and pressure vessel applications, ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has introduced its new series of B3 SC electrodes and fluxes for SMAW, GTAW and SAW for 2.25% Cr 1% Mo alloyed steels, SA-387 Grade 22, A335 Grade P22 and similar materials.

The new B3 SC filler metals feature modernized formulations designed for applications that require high toughness also in the post-weld heat treated as well as after step cooling treatment. The weld metal is also designed for increased rupture resistance at high service temperatures. Filler metal chemistry is carefully controlled ...

We have exciting and very positive news to share with you! Today, we announced that our parent company Colfax Corporation (NYSE: CFX) intends to build on our strategic momentum by separating into two independent and publicly-traded companies—one business will focus on fabrication technologies (ESAB) and the other on specialty medical technologies (MedTech Co. and DJO). 

From a leadership perspective, I will continue as CEO of ESAB with our current team.  Together, we will continue to strengthen ESAB’s fabrication market leadership. ESAB expects to invest its significant free cash flow into growth-related capital investments, innovation, productivity and strategic acquisitions.

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products will showcase its Quick Weld Productivity Analyzer (QWPA), an easy-to-use calculator for total weld cost analysis, in booth C12574 at FABTECH 2018, held Nov. 6 – 8 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. This online tool can help fabricators see the cost impact of different aspects of production. The QWPA produces calculations for:

Net deposition rate and welding speed per pass after selecting weld process and inputting data, (wire/electrode type, diameter, parameters, joint configuration, joint cross seam area, joint length, number of passes). Weld operation time calculation. A sliding scale for arc-on time/operating factor calculates weld metal ...
